A frame ABC is loaded at point C by a force P acting at an angle öf to the horizontal (see figure). Both members of the frame have the same length and the same flexural rigidity. Determine the angle a so that the deflection of point C is in the same direction as the load. (Disregard the effects of axial deformations and consider only the effects of bending due to the load P.) Note: A direction of loading such that the resulting deflection is in the same direction as the load is called a principal direction. For a given load on a planar structure, there are two principal directions that are perpendicular to each other.
A thin strip of steel with a length of L =19 in. and thickness of t = 0,275 in. is bent by couples M0(see figure). The deflection at the midpoint of the strip (measured from a line joining its end points) is found to be 0.30 in. Determine the longitudinal normal strain ë at the top surface of the strip. If allowable strain £a= 0-0008, what is the maximum acceptable thickness of the strip? If allowable strain £a= 0.0008, t = 0.275 in., and L = 32 in., what is deflection S? If allowable strain sa= 0.0008, t = 0.275 in., and the deflection cannot exceed 1,0 in., what is the maximum permissible length of the strip?
A steel W 310 x 52 column is pin-supported at the ends and has a length L = 4 m. The column supports two eccentrically applied loads J\ = 750 kN and P2= 500 kN (see figure). Bending occurs about axis 1-1 of the cross section, and the eccentric loads are applied on axis 2-2 at distances of 200 mm from ccntroid C. Calculate the maximum compressive stress in the column. Assume that modulus elasticity E = 200 GPa.

Note: Plot the axial load as ordinate and the deflection at the midpoint as abscissa.
A horizontal load P acts at end C of the bracket ABC shown in the figure. Determine the deflection 6Cof point C. Determine the maximum upward deflection 8 of member AB. Note: Assume that the flexural rigidity EI is constant throughout the frame. Also, disregard the effects of axial deformations and consider only the effects of bending due to the load P.
The column shown in the figure is fixed at the base and free at the upper end. A compressive load P acts at the top of the column with an eccentricity e from the axis of the column. Beginning with the differential equation of the deflection curve, derive formulas for the maximum deflection S of the column and the maximum bending moment Mmaxin the column.

The beam is subjected to distributed load q acting in the vertical direction through the centroid of the purlin cross section. The top chords of the trusses have a slope of = 27°. The purlin has length L =75 in. Determine the permissible distributed load q based on the allowable compressive and tensile stress in the beam eall = 2 ksi.
